Outside Magazine Names eBags EXO Hardside 24" Spinner Among "The Year's Best Gear"(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 05/01/12 -- Online retailer eBags.com -- the world's largest online retailer of backpacks, handbags, luggage, and laptop cases -- announced that one of its signature private label models, the eBags EXO Hardside 24" Spinner, has been named among "The Year's Best Gear" for luggage in the 2012 Outside Buyer's Guide. Called "an agile hauler that protects like Fort Knox" by Outside, the eBags EXO Hardside 24" Spinner stands with just six other bags featured as "The Year's Best Gear" in the luggage category. Outside designated a crew of gear testers who were responsible for putting each piece to the ultimate test. "Not only is the EXO the most durable and versatile spinner we've ever tested, it's also the safest," Outside said after a 13,000-mile trip being dragged, pushed and carried over smooth airport floors, Barcelona's cobblestone streets, and everywhere in between. The eBags EXO Hardside 24" Spinner is recommended by 95% of customers who have purchased the product and maintains a "Best of the Best" rating on eBags.com. "Best of the Best" products are determined by eBags customers who've provided ratings of products they've purchased. In order for a product to receive this designation, it must meet the criteria of having: 1) an overall rating 4.0 or above (out of 5.0 maximum), and 2) 90% or more of all customers stating they would buy the product again. "A designer designs a product with the utmost thought and attention to detail to ensure its success and longevity, but not really knowing if the market will embrace the unique characteristics that make it special," said Bernard Majeau, director of product development for eBags.com since 2000. "To achieve this critical acclaim twice from such an industry-leading source as Outside is truly an honor for eBags."
